Re: 2005 HCH - only getting 36mpg
hi, i also have a '05, but with the 5-speed. you might want to drop in at cleanmpg.com, there are quite a few articles on there on increasing your mileage..........
you didn't mention how fast you usually drive, but high speeds can kill your mileage. also stop and go driving can be hard. if you can take the opportunity to coast when possible, at least not use the gas, that will help, also. it's been described as using the gas pedal as if there is an egg under there. i think as you drive the car more, you will get a good feel for how it works the most efficiently. and the mileage display really helps.
good luck and have fun. i use less than 10 gallons a week in mine, and i have an 80 mile daily commute.
Best fill 66.7 MPG, best tank 801.5 miles
